Corrie's Andy Whyment defended by Carol Vorderman as he hits back at Janice Dickinson after I'm A Celeb row

Things got heated during Thursday night's episode (May 4) of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here after a row erupted between Corrie's Andy Whyment and supermodel Janice Dickinson. The pair are both taking part in the I'm A Celebrity all-star series which was filmed in South Africa last year but is currently airing on ITV.

The spin-off show has seen previous campmates such as Joe Swash, Carol Vorderman Helen Flannagan and Georgia Toffolo return to take on the trials in a bid to be crowned the first ever I'm A Celebrity Legend. This week saw the camp split into two with Joe Swash leading one team and Dean Gaffney in charge of the other as they go head to head to win food.

Coronation Street star Andy, 42, who has played Kirk Sutherland on the ITV soap since 2000, was picked to be part of Joe's team, who have lost all the trials so far. Viewers have since seen a different side to Andy, who is usually happy and humorous, as he struggled to cope with the lack of food.

Andy, who first appeared on I'm A Celeb in 2019 where he lost out on the crown to former EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa, could be seen telling his campmates: "I'm just sick of f***ing rice and beans constantly. I had it for two nights in the first camp. I've had enough."

The latest episode also saw Andy involved in a row with Janice, 68, after she 'ordered' him to make a wreath.

Janice told Andy: "Andy, I need a wreath. I need you to make me a wreath out of some leaves." But the soap star responded: "You’ve picked the wrong person there. I can’t make a wreath."

Hitting back, she told campmate Myleene: "He doesn’t want to do anything for me. He doesn’t even want to have a conversation with me. He hates me."

Realising that she was supposedly talking about him after overhearing what she had said, Andy then hit back: "Are you saying I don’t want to do anything for you?"

Janice then responded: "No I didn’t say that, no, I wasn't talking about you." She later said she thinks Andy is 'scared' of her.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph later, Andy then said: "There was no 'please' no nothing, it was just 'do this'. It's like well no, I'm not your slave.

"I know she was slagging me off to Myleene (Klass) then, I could tell by her face."

After the pre-recorded show aired, Andy took to his Instagram page to share a clip of the row with his 387,000 followers. Sharing it on his story, he wrote: "No Janice, I wasn't scared."

Andy was quickly supported by his fellow campmate Carol Vorderman, 62, who wrote: "With you all the way our Andy x," alongside a love heart emoji.

Viewers soon gave their take on the row, with one commenting: "There no excuse for being rude. Manners cost absolutely nothing."

Another told Andy: "Your doing great Andy. She is down right rude... can't stand her.."

A third said: "Your doing brilliantly Andy. She’s is just a bossy boots lol."
